Fathers & Sons Night

On the 4th June 2019, a warm and humid evening, Guildford Circle hosted Fathers & Sons night at the Guildford Golf Club. In attendance were: 35 Guildford Brothers; 4 Guildford Sons; 1 Clergy, Fr Roy Waters; 8 Visiting Brothers and 5 Visiting Brother's Sons together wih 1 Visiting Gentleman. 

The Circle meeting commenced at 7.30 pm during which, Bro President, congratulated Bro. Paul Davies on his achievement of being the individual winner of the 'Captain's Day' Golf Competition. Unfortunately, there was no cup to present to Bro. Paul as it had, apparently, been destroyed in a fire at the previous winner's home. A likely story! Following the meeting everyone retired to the dining room where Grace before Meal was said by Fr Roy.  

As the evening progressed there were the usual speeches with a welcome from Bro. President and responses from the Visiting Brothers. There were toasts to Absent Brothers and to the Queen proposed by Bro. Vice-President, Tim Edwards. Grace after Meal was again said by Fr Roy. The usual round of jokes ensued and all in all it was a very pleasant evening. Please see below a selection of photographs taken on the night.
